Michel Der Zakarian estime que le report des matches n’est pas justifié. Midi Libre – JEAN MICHEL MART

L’entraîneur de Montpellier s’est exprimé, en conférence de presse, vendredi 12 avril, sur la décision de la Ligue de reporter les matches du week-end pour les clubs européens.

Asked about the fact that PSG rotated its squad last week against Clermont (1-1), Michel Der Zakarian expressed his disappointment even if he estimates that &quot ;the team lined up was a great formation. There were two young people but with the others, they had enough to win the match".

"In England they play every three days"

Not enough to distort the championship but the decision to postpone matches for European teams upsets him more. "I don't understand. In England, they play the guys every three days. I don’they are distorting the championship because whatever happens, they will replay the match in two weeks during the week."

This decision is controversial since several football personalities have also expressed their dissatisfaction. The president of Le Havre has already said that he would object to his team playing during the week to favor a French team in the event of a semi-final. Today, Antoine Koumbouaré, the Nantes coach, was also cautious about these reports.
